An issue first raised by Engdahl, I think, was the identity of the snipers who attacked on February 22, after the constitutional deal had been concluded (the sniper attacks led to the right-wing attacks on the political structure of the country which ended the possibility of a peaceful deal, and ended in the coup):

"After hard talks, all major parties including the majority of
protesters, agreed to new presidential elections in December, return to
the 2004 Constitution and release of Julia Tymoshenko from prison. The compromise appeared to end the months long chaos and give a way out for all major players.
The diplomatic compromise lasted less than twelve hours. Then all hell broke loose.
Snipers began shooting into the crowd on February 22 in Maidan or
Independence Square. Panic ensued and riot police retreated in panic
according to eyewitnesses. The opposition leader Vitali Klitschko withdrew from the deal, no reason given. Yanukovich fled Kiev.
The question unanswered until now is who deployed the snipers?
According to veteran US intelligence sources, the snipers came from an
ultra-right-wing military organization known as Ukrainian National
Assembly – Ukrainian People’s Self-Defense (UNA-UNSO)."

Now we have more details described by Estonia’s Foreign Minister Urmas Paet to EU foreign affairs chief Catherine 'Tits on a Bull' Ashton (from another secretly recorded phone call from February 25):

"Paet also recalled his conversation with a doctor who treated those shot by snipers in Kiev. She said that both protesters and police were shot at by the same people.

“And second, what was quite disturbing, this same Olga [Bogomolets] told as well that all the evidence shows that the people who were killed by snipers from both sides, among policemen and then people from the streets, that they were the same snipers killing people from both sides,” the Estonian FM stressed.

“So that she then also showed me some photos she said that as a medical doctor she can say that it is the same handwriting, the same type of bullets, and it’s really disturbing that now the new coalition, that they don’t want to investigate what exactly happened,” Paet said.

Olga Bogomolets was the main doctor for the Maidan mobile clinic when protests turned violent in Kiev. She treated the gravely injured and helped organized their transportation to neighboring countries, who had expressed a willingness to treat those with severe wounds. From the outset, Olga blamed the injuries and deaths on snipers. She turned down the position of Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine for Humanitarian Affairs offered by the coup-appointed regime.

The Estonian FM has described the whole sniper issue as “disturbing” and added, “it already discredits from the very beginning” the new Ukrainian power."

Note the cleverness of the snipers firing indiscriminately at both sides to create plausible deniability that the firing was a planned action in order to stop the constitutional deal from going through.
